“Geomorphic evidence for the latter includes mottled plains, shorelines, terraced slopes, and layered sediments”
From A chemical model for evaporites on early Mars: Possible sedimentary tracers of the early climate and implications for exploration (1999) · cites this paper as Baker et al., 1991
In the citing paper
“The evidence for punctuated, impact-driven interaction between rocks and fluids supports scenarios such as those of Segura et al. (2002), where large impacts created temporary hydrous environments, as opposed to those including largescale, long-term hydrologic systems including oceans (Baker et al. 1991; Clifford and Parker 2001).”
From Multi-generational carbonate assemblages in martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001: Implications for nucleation, growth, and alteration (2004) · cites this paper as Baker et al. 1991

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
